Low wide AV stands: Atacama vs Soundstyle?

I'm looking for a wide AV stand (at least 1000mm wide) with a simple/clean design that has enough depth to hold my receiver and HTPC (both about 475mm deep).

I think I've narrowed my choicees down to these three:

Atacama Equinox AV - £199

1060mm in total wide with over 500mm depth. Managed to find it for a reasonable price although can anyone tell me if you can get it with a black frame/arctic frost glass?

SoundStyle WG3AV - £250

1200mm width, 460mm depth (amp'll have to stick out the back a bit). Can you get the black frame option with opal glass or does it have to be black glass?

SoundStyle ST310 - £199-350?

1060mm width, 450mm depth - love the look of this steel frame and glass combo, although worried it might be too tall.


Does anyone here use any of the above mentioned stands? Would appreciate if you could post a snap of your setup Also does anyone know a London (preferably in NW) store that stocks SoundStyle so I can go take a look?

Alternatively, can anyone think of a stand I've missed? As mentioned above 1000mm width upto 1400mm. 450-500mm depth. Can be all wood, metal or with glass shelves.

Do you have a 4-tier shelf?
Approx. 220mm per shelf.
I want to fit a centre speaker in the top tier, 4 units (dvd, sky, etc) in the 2nd tier and amp+consoles in the 3rd tier.

Thanks for the pic - I was considering the ST210 but it only comes in black frame and black glass. Trying to match the glass my table.

There is the ST310... although its not as wide and its much taller.

Might not be a problem if I can go and see it on display Anyone know of a SoundStyle stockist/showroom? Can't seem to find any information.

No worries mate!
I had quite a job trying to find a decect cabinet to hold a 60" Plasma.
A lot where way too high.
The ST210 was not my first choice (because of colour) but very glad i chose it in the end....................quite a nice unit.
I'll tell you what,i had some decent service from whom i bought the stand from................recommend them.
Cheers.

I had a look at the site and the smaller one says 50kg max. Is that 50kg on each level or overall? The reason i ask is because i need to place the tv (Tosh 37z3030d) and centre speaker on the top and Onkyo 605 A/V receiver, Wii, Cd player, MD player on the bottom shelf.
